Language Requirements

Entry Requirements

English Proficiency

No standalone English-taught admission track was found; German remains the default language of instruction for both Bachelor's (BFA Art / BA Design) and Master's (MFA Art / MA Design) programmes. For Master's applicants only, English can partially substitute German: instead of German C1, applicants may submit German B2 plus English C1. English C1 must be shown via a current TOEFL test, a current IELTS test (not older than two years), or a Cambridge Certificate C1 - the official pages do not publish a minimum numeric score (e.g. no IELTS band or TOEFL iBT cut-off is stated).

German Language

Bachelor's (BFA Art, BA Design): proof of German at DSH-2, TestDaF TDN 4, 'telc Deutsch C1 Hochschule', or Goethe-Zertifikat C1, due by 15 September of the application year. Earlier proof of at least B2-level German is also required during the application process, but the university's own pages give two different deadlines for this B2 proof (15 April on one official page, 25 May on another) - verify the current cycle's exact date with the Studierendensekretariat before advising applicants. Master's (MFA Art, MA Design): same German C1 requirement, or alternatively German B2 + English C1 (see english_requirement).
